Today, June 21, 2023 is doing the most!

It’s International Yoga Day, the first day of Cancer season (Happy Bday to all the Cancers), and the day of the solstice.

In the northern hemisphere, today is officially the first day of summer.

It’s giving ☀️SUN ☀️

The sun rays’ extended visit has a very powerful effect on plants: they help fruits and vegetables reach their peak ripeness and become more nutritious.

As fruits and vegetables ripen, they change color, flavor, and texture.

For better or for worse, if you’re reading this, it’s highly probable (but not unlikely) that you’re not cultivating your own fruits + veggies.

But I bet you’re cultivating something. It’s human nature to do so.

All this sunlight has me feeling super curious today. So I have a question for you:

What have you been cultivating that’s in the process of ripening? How have you noticed it change, shift, and transform? If you’re open to sharing with me, just hit reply.

Wanna know what I’ve been cultivating?

Here we go!

Fatigued to Fulfilled: Embodying Bliss, Balance, + Being with E.A.S.E.

The Vibe + Flow 10-week program is now Fatigued to Fulfilled: Embodying bliss, balance, + being with E.A.S.E. The private 1:1 radical rewilding experience is expanding into an asynchronous exploratory learning space allowing for more flexibility with hectic schedules.

This makeover is still in the early cultivation stages, but it will ripen very quickly once it sprouts. So stay tuned.

Rewilding Justice for Small Businesses

If you know a heart-centered, nature-based small businesses looking for FOUNDATIONAL diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, + accessibility (DEIJA) support, send them THIS.

If you are a heart-centered, nature-based small business owner desiring to explore social justice foundations within my Radical Rewilding Liberatory Design Model, let’s talk!

The Summer Solstice as a Symbol of Ripening

Lots growing and ripening here, just in time for the summer solstice. I hope to hear about the growth and ripening happening in your world.

That ripening can be happening within too. As we grow and mature, we too can experience changes in our color, flavor, and texture. We can become more resilient, more compassionate, and more wise.

Be dope. Be well.
